Music Box Theatre

Chicago


It hardly matters what's playing here; the Music Box itself is worth the visit. The restored theater dates from 1929 and looks like a Moorish palace, with clouds floating across the ceiling under twinkling stars. The art-house films are always first-rate and there's a midnight roster of cult hits such as The Big Lebowski. A second, smaller theater shows held-over films.

There's a little bar on-site, and you can take your drinks into the film screenings.
